Bio
Adam Derwitsch
In a broad sense, Alexander is, without a doubt, an inspiration to anybody that knows him. His intellect is exemplary and is contagious to his friends and colleagues. Best described as a perpetual desire to objectively gain knowledge, Alexander's intellect is simply a portion of his very professional and independent personality. His competitive ideas coupled with vibrant ambition will propel him towards becoming a profound and successful citizen of the world. On a more specific level, Alexander is affable in all of his relationships with others, especially in situations of debate. This harbors an ability to effectively communicate, and thus exercise a remarkable set of critical and analytical skills. People are constantly leading others in a multitude of ways, and Alexander manifests his leadership through his cross-cultural awareness of the world and understanding of success in a globalized economy. I thoroughly admire Alexander's character, and I am confident that he will be a tremendous asset wherever life takes him.
